Monthly Archives: January 2014

As you might be aware, QFI subscriptions are based on the calendar year. The subscriptions for 2014 are now due. We have started collecting the subscriptions for this year and a number of you have renewed paying the new annual subscription fee of Rs. 500. Those of you who have already renewed can please ignore this reminder.

We will be sending out the first batch of quizzes for the month of January by this weekend. Please renew your subscriptions so that you do not miss out on these quizzes!

The subscription amount can be paid online or by post or other means. Please email us for details at qfichennai@gmail.com

We rely on your patronage for a number of events planned this year and this subscription would be a great way to support QFI.

On the weekend of 25-26 January 2014, along with IITM Open Quiz and the Tanishq Open Quiz, we will have two QFI events in the mornings.

On the 25th, we will have an open quiz by Chandrakant Nair. On the 26th, we will have the second annual QFI Avial Pursuit quiz, set by a team comprising Arun, Aniruddh, Yaggy and Matti. Both quizzes are conducted by people who have done some great quizzes in the past. Don’t miss out on them!

The two quizzes will be held in the CRC – the Class Room Complex, in the IIT Madras campus.

Registrations for Chandrakant’s quiz will begin at 9:30 AM on the 25th. Avial Pursuit registrations will begin at 9 AM on the 26th. There will be a registration fee of Rs 100 per quiz, per team. Both quizzes are for teams of 3. We hope to end both quizzes in time for the participants to have lunch and head for the quizzes in the afternoon.

We plan to have a trial webcast of the QFI session tomorrow from 10:30 AM IST. Folks who are not able to make it to the meeting, please try it out! Thanks to QFI old-timer Venkataraghavan Srinivasan from Parivadini for setting this up.

We will be having our first meeting of the year on Sunday, January 12, 2014. We will have a quiz by Sutanu, who has done some well received quizzes for us in the past. Time permitting, we will also have questions from the recently conducted Nihilanth SciTech quiz from Raju and Kiddo.

Subscriptions for the new year are due. You can pay your subscriptions at the meeting. The annual subscription has now been revised to Rs. 500. (As always, subscriptions are not required to attend QFI meetings, only to receive the quizzes by email.)
